Saviour, now in me perform
The work thou hast begun;
Be my shelter from the storm,
My shadow from the sun:
Weary, parch’d with thirst, and faint,
Till thou the’ abiding Spirit breath:
Ever moment, Lord, I want
The merit of thy death.
Never shall I want it less
When thou the gift hast given,
Fill’d me with thy righteousness,
And seal’d the heir of heave;
I will trust in thee, my God,
Till I thy perfect glory see;
Till the sprinkling of thy blood
Shall speak me up to thee.
